Strange Days on Planet Earth

Monday evening, I saw a magnificent program on TV: Strange Days on Planet Earth, produced by National Geographic. How a storm in the Indian Ocean can blow sands off the Sahara to the Caribbean to cause the islands' children's asthma. It's really a planetary poiesis.

Where are we heading at? What planetary imaginary can help the bios to survive? This is a program I want to show in my cultural anthropology course at Meiji (this semester our subject is the environment and cultural materialism) but my video player/recorder didn't run properly. I'll have to wait for the video to come out on sale.
